CFA is a moderate level exam and you can pass it with 4-6 months of preparation.
Most important is having a proper plan and sticking to it.
Start with how many hours you have on week days. Try to study at least 1-2 hrs on week days.
You have to dedicate your weekends completely to the preparation and avoid the temptation of relaxing on those days. I would suggest minimum 6-8 hrs on weekends at least. Actually the time required will vary from person to person depending n his intellectual capability.
Make sure you use trusted resources and focus on solving more problems and not only reading the theory.
If you are using Schweser's material then make sure that you attempt at least three tests from that in real like exam situations. So keep on studying and give some tests.
Most importantly utilize your weekends properly. All the best!

1.L3 topic weights are not like L2.
2.Leaving topics is not recommended at any level. More so at L3.
3.Seen in totality, except for Ethics, there's only one topic! (Portfolio management)-a lot of synthesis of readings across study sessions is required to answer questions.
So a fixed income or risk management (Risk and derivatives) question is also colored in the portfolio context.
For whatever it is worth, the following may help.
4.Portfolio Management-Fixed income which is roughly equal to ethics (ethics not tested in AM till now, fortunately). Risk management+Derivatives may be covered more than equity or AI. Though not always.
5.Economics is often tested in the morning session and has now been specifically included as a topic, unlike earlier, and mostly has direct questions based on formulae, in AM. Together with performance evaluation/attribution/Indirect transaction costs (All Book VI) if tested and solved correctly, may prove to be high scoring compared to qualitative sections.
6.Six out of eleven questions may be directly from portfolio management.

The NMAT by GMAC exam is computer-delivered and gives each candidate a randomly generated test from a pool of questions, delivered one-at-a-time.
quantitative aptitude and data interpretation.
The section had at least one question from each topic under QA and DI. The topics covered include mainly arithmetic (averages, percentage, profit and loss, ratio and proportion, time and distance, time and work) and modern maths including Geometry, PnC Probability. Apart from it, there was a good balance of questions between data interpretation and data sufficiency. Overall, NMAT is a predictable paper. A correct attempt of 30 to 35 questions can be termed as a good score.
NMIMS selection process consists of two stages and has three components. Based on the performance in the NMAT examination, only shortlisted candidates are called for the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) round.
